Function: noun
1 : subtly deceptive reasoning or argumentation
That is the meaning I used when I said “sophistry.”
By that, I mean that applying a scientific theory outside of the boundaries set by the theory itself is inappropriate. In this case a countervailing theory exists that is not compatible, under the current development of the theories. Two ways of seeing the world, two blind men groping at the elephant of reality. One holding a leg, one holding a tail.
Meanwhile Einstien had a good quote regarding:
“God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically.”
I noticed above that LeGrande indicated that God would be bored if the universe were without chance occurences. I wonder if LeGrande is speaking of his belief in God or admitting the possibility of God.
My appologies, should have been “sophistry”.
The way we use logic these days, many people assume that the “smell test” is automatically incorrect. Sometimes a good ol’ discussion helps more towards understanding than all the graphs and witnesses combined.
